PLAYERS: Dan Ellis,  Bobby Ryan,  Nicklas Backstrom,  Bruce Boudreau,  Tomas Vokoun,  Craig Smith,  Martin Erat,  Francois Beauchemin
TEAMS: Detroit Red Wings,  Nashville Predators,  Columbus Blue Jackets,  Anaheim Ducks,  Washington Capitals,  Vancouver Canucks
The Ducks are back at The Honda Center tonight after their 13 day, 9 game road trip across the States in which they fared very badly.  They gained 2 points from shoot out losses to the Blackhawks and Rangers, beat the Wild, and lost the other 6 games, including a 5-0 massacre by the Red Wings. On Halloween Eve, the Ducks followed up a loss to the Nashville Predators with a loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, allowing the Jackets’ annoying cannon to be shot off 3 times in their 1-3 loss.  Dan Ellis minded the net, Bobby Ryan scored the birds’ only goal, and Selanne became the first player on the club to 10 points this season.  The Ducks made sure to go down swinging, however, dropping gloves for three fights in just five minutes during the first period, and then threw in one more fight at the end of the second for good measure. The Ducks’ next game was against the 2011 Winter Classic Winners, the Washington Capitals.  The Ducks lost this game too.  This time, they went up 3-0 in the s...
